What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 7 108 462 to base 2 unsigned binary equivalent?
- A number written in base ten, or a decimal system number, is a number written using the digits 0 through 9. A number written in base two, or a binary system number, is a number written using only the digits 0 and 1.
1. Divide the number repeatedly by 2:
Keep track of each remainder.
Stop when you get a quotient that is equal to zero.
- division = quotient + remainder;
- 7 108 462 ÷ 2 = 3 554 231 + 0;
- 3 554 231 ÷ 2 = 1 777 115 + 1;
- 1 777 115 ÷ 2 = 888 557 + 1;
- 888 557 ÷ 2 = 444 278 + 1;
- 444 278 ÷ 2 = 222 139 + 0;
- 222 139 ÷ 2 = 111 069 + 1;
- 111 069 ÷ 2 = 55 534 + 1;
- 55 534 ÷ 2 = 27 767 + 0;
- 27 767 ÷ 2 = 13 883 + 1;
- 13 883 ÷ 2 = 6 941 + 1;
- 6 941 ÷ 2 = 3 470 + 1;
- 3 470 ÷ 2 = 1 735 + 0;
- 1 735 ÷ 2 = 867 + 1;
- 867 ÷ 2 = 433 + 1;
- 433 ÷ 2 = 216 + 1;
- 216 ÷ 2 = 108 + 0;
- 108 ÷ 2 = 54 + 0;
- 54 ÷ 2 = 27 + 0;
- 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
- 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
- 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number:
Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
7 108 462(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
7 108 462 (base 10) = 110 1100 0111 0111 0110 1110 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
